When she was a little girl, Elisabeth had shrieked when Spinaraks had entered her room -- not because she was afraid of the many-legged Pokemon, but because she was horrified that her maids were trying to dust off their webs and shoo them away.

It had been a jarring discovery for her to learn this affinity for Bug-type Pokemon was not normal behavior for a young woman of the Kalosian upper class. While other debutantes had Eevees, Cleffas, and Skitty in tow, Elisabeth found herself in the company of Wurmples and Caterpie.

Years later, her Ariados -- Widow -- was in fact one of her favored sources for poisons in the basement beneath her cottage in Petalburg. The spider Pokemon lurked there in the darkness, keeping sentry over all her vials and creepy crawlies, mostly venturing out for smuggling missions alongside her mistress.

And today, assisting in facing a swarm of her own kind.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Elisabeth said of the intricate latticework of webs all around her. The faint sound of awe rang through her words. "Shame we have to cut through it. Attack if you would, Widow?"

reports of an invasive species reaches his ear, and while normally he'd leave it to the rangers, ariados were a particularly interesting pokemon.
[break]
[break]
but was it interesting enough to push through all this overgrown vegetation? his LEGS ached, but he pushes on regardless. he'd been lucky to have the foresight to bring his leafeon along; their LEAF BLADE having proven itself invaluable.

[break]

something rustles to his right and he places a forefinger over his lips, shushing the eeveelution. peeking over, he spots the strange markings of the spider-pokemon.
[break]
[break]

then, with surprise on his side, he tosses a ball.

[attr="class","illeana i"]all the creepy crawlies are out... nice.

a spinarak or twelve skitter on by her feet, some of their legs brushing against her own. she shivers at the sensation, half repulsed and slightly apologetic.

too many spiders here for her liking but... the trainers of hoenn need to clear them out. well, they should but the ariados are pretty massive and she's not trying to become enemy number one for this swarm of spiders.

in her half assed attempt to clear out a large web, she sees a lonely spider and tosses a pokeball at it to deter it from coming closer.

ROCKET had him on yet another errand. Something about locating a specific Pokémon needed for research purposes. An easy enough task at first glance, but decidedly more difficult once Barnaby laid eyes on the location.

It was a dense, foreboding forest along Route 123. He released his FLAREON just in case of any unannounced attacks.

As they pushed through the undergrowth, the thorns and brambles scratched at their legs, in particular pulling on the the FLAREON's dense fur, much to the annoyance of the Flame Pokémon. Worse still, sticky webs coated almost every surface.

"Clear the way." Barnaby instructed, pausing to add, "And try not to burn the whole forest down."

That was a definite possibility when dealing with fire, but he trusted his Pokémon to have enough control over it's abilities to not endanger them in such a way.

Ariados and Callan had two things in common, they had LEGS and also enjoyed using Sticky Web on objects, people, and places. That was why he was here to become friends with one.

Callan sneaked up behind a spidery beast, crawling beneath the grass as if trying to take a panty shot. Before lobbing a ball out of thr grass to either capture or chase away the Pokemon.

Clearing out a group of invasive Pokemon was never an easy task for Thomas. He did not like having to uproot Pokemon like this. But the fact was, if left unchecked, they'd be a problem for the environment, and the other Pokemon living in the area. So he did what he had to do. Perhaps down the line, he could see what he could do about securing a habitat for them.

As his Pokemon carefully joined in on the efforts to clear the area, Thomas would spot one Ariados, and toss a Pokeball towards it, hoping to get lucky.

Fascinating, isn’t it?
[break][break]
Mt. Pyre isn’t the sort of place where people would often expect to find a poisonous bug like Ariados, and yet here they are – a whole swarm of them living in the forests of the eerie mountain. With Spinarak too!
[break][break]
”Ariados, the Long Leg Pokémon, capable of producing webs from both its mouth and spinneret, and unlike most arachnids, being one to wander in search for food instead of nesting at one specific location. Much more prone to constriction than to making use of its venom, even if it tends to be one that acts rapidly when injected.”
[break][break]
All too informative thoughts flood Ceri’s mind as she watches the spiders, seeming completely undisturbed by their presence. If anything, russet eyes follow their movements with fascination, even if she knows well that if there’s a swarm of Ariados out hunting for food, they’re bound to cause trouble.
[break][break]
Frankly, it’s just not her problem.
[break][break]
She’s only here because this is a good opportunity to try and collect another specimen.

Spiders? In Hoenn?

Grody.

Hell, but if it meant making his team stronger, that's what Caspian would do. He could handle a spider or two. But, when he showed up to Route 123, there was like, a million of them.

How many LEGS would that be... he didn't want to even think about it, a shudder running down his spine as he rolled a Poke ball in his hands.

"Better something than nothing, huh?"

Apparently, there was a horde of spiders crawling around route 123. Normally, Felix wasn't the one to care much for an influx of a species, but had sent him a text, so he thought there might be something worthwhile this time around. So, with an apathetic expression, the man sauntered into the rolling hills, gallade at his side.

"Hey," He nodded at Jayden, eyes flicking back over towards the infesting horde. With another nod, he sent his gallade at the nearest one, alongside a quick poke ball.

eradicating that which is not needed, eliminating the cancerous growth — these are things that all rockets should be skilled in, and jayden is no different. even if this particular task at hand is a little different then the other missions that he's been assigned.

[break][break] glancing quickly down at his phone, he sends a text to .

found them. they're here.


if the opportunity arose, perhaps it would be a good opportunity to catch one for one of their labs. after all, he was sure the likes of and would never turn away an additional resource.

[break][break] his chandelure casts flame to the arachnids and their legs with IMPRISON and then INFERNO. as the smell of burning flesh fills the air, he turns sideways. his partner has appeared, and he nods at him in turn.

[break][break] "hey."

ARIADOS SWARM


POKEMON SWARM



AN ALTERNATIVE WORLD has opened up an appreciation for nature he’s never realized. it sits not on with the life that teems from thick grass and fresh air but the natural variants of genome that sprout from organic breeding. evolution, without manipulation, is what sets their world apart.

conflict breeds purpose.

purpose leads too…

battle routine set.

fernando leaves his thought as his LEG snags on another thick line of spider web. the shaymin hover above him will have no such trouble.

execute!

and now they begin to clean.
